Fire eating. It goes way back. It's an ancient art. What would possess anybody to stick fire
in their mouth? A paycheck perhaps. It is a great finish to a fire show, but when you
see fire artists, either the finish is eating the fire or spewing the fire. We're not going
to deal with spewing the fire today, we're simply going to deal with eating the fire.
First and most important is, look at the fire to ask which way the wind is blowing. It's
quite easy to tell because you look at the flame and it will go in the opposite direction
of the wind. The wind is coming from this way and it's blowing that way. So I want to
put my back to the wind. And now I can see my back is this way and the fire is that way.
Do you think I should really eat it? What do you think? Well, rather than me eat it,
I'll teach you how to eat it. It's simple physics. And here we go.
